Knit in Public Field Trips


World Wide Knit in Public Day - the official site 

The official dates for Worldwide Knit In Public this year are June 5 through 16. You can get more information at Worldwide Knit in Public Day.
 
Knit With Judy will be particiting in as many Knit in Public Day field trips as possible this year. So get out your needles and join us. Young and old. Hot and sunny or cool and rainy, we'll be there. You need to let me know you're coming, though, if you want to arrange a ride, and, in the case of NYC, reserve a table.  For all these events it's a good idea to bring a chair.
